Lumayan loh hadiahnya bagi pemenang pertama adalah pulsa Rp. 100.000,- Batas terakhir adalah tanggal 24 Maret jadi jangan sampai lupa yah.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, now I'm going to make my personal review about motorcyle taxis in Jakarta. What? There is a motorcycle taxi here? Yeap... In here they called Ojeg or ojek... The same thing. Since most of the time, Jakarta hit with traffic jam these kind of taxis really help us a lot. Both we, passenger and driver know this kind of transportation is illegal, but we use it anyway. Usually we have to know about the route and more or less about the decent fee to be paid to the driver. It will help if you have Indonesian friend who will give you inside and tips and guidance about this matter. Otherwise, if you are not really a bargaining person then most of motorcycle taxi drivers will rob you blind.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">But nowadays, even to order motorcycle taxi or ojek can be done by using two applications. Once I talked about using Grab in this<a href="http://www.riatumimomor.com/2015/12/go-grab-bike.html"> post</a>. But, I think I should talk about both of them: they are <a href="http://www.go-jek.com/">Go-Jek</a> and <a href="https://www.grab.co/id/bike/">Grab</a>. You can search for them for both android and iOS users. I installed these two as I like to compare which one is cheaper.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V2g67G06Pt8/VuY9ZImIn4I/AAAAAAAAb3Q/lj15XtFOWNMOH7l1UtcQJrTg8vuiZzpZA/s1600/image-14-03-16-09-52-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V2g67G06Pt8/VuY9ZImIn4I/AAAAAAAAb3Q/lj15XtFOWNMOH7l1UtcQJrTg8vuiZzpZA/s320/image-14-03-16-09-52-1.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My tips for you if you first timer to use these applications:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. Phone Number</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Make sure you gave them your reachable phone numbers when you first do the registration. I noticed that most drivers in Go-Jek - forgot to check on the other one - all use the same provider.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you are into discount then maybe you prefer to have the same provider with them. Phone numbers with same provider allows you to have discount or free calls in certain time.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In theory they should be the one calling you to confirm about your order. But sometimes, they probably running out balance as they are all using pre-paid sim card and you will be the one calling for them. Asking their current location and such.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2. Promotion</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Done with the registration? Then you are now preparing for your first order. Pay attention to terms and conditions of every promotion that they offer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Right now, both Grab and Go-Jek offer flat rate for certain time and calcuated with the distance of your route. The flat rate will changed during rush hour in the morning and late afternoon when everybody try to go home as soon as possible.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you are not sure, best ask your Indonesian friend especially those who always using their services.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>3. Payment</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You either decide to have e-wallet that you need to top up the balance. Or like me, prefer to pay with cash. Not accepting payment with credit card or debet card.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Better to have small change (not coins but the smallest amount are IDR 1.000,- or IDR 2.000,- as it will annoys both of you when the driver has no changes for you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xOZoGQvYXs4/VuY9LIvYByI/AAAAAAAAb3M/V0p3DXzMA1YabJ2DcDdfkIRxqdB36bpeA/s1600/image-14-03-16-09-52.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xOZoGQvYXs4/VuY9LIvYByI/AAAAAAAAb3M/V0p3DXzMA1YabJ2DcDdfkIRxqdB36bpeA/s320/image-14-03-16-09-52.jpeg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Head cover and surgical mask</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>4. Head cover and surgical mask</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These two things should be offered by the driver to their passenger. If they just gave you the helmet then you probably need to ask them politely to give those two things for you. Usually they will answer that they have run out of stock.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Which is why you should prepare them by yourself. Why? Without surgical mask you will inhale heavily polluted air. And the head cover to protect your hair as the helmet has been used by many passengers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b></b><br /><b></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>4. Destination</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Make sure the driver KNOW the route to go to your destination. Ask them if they know the route or about your destination. It will be hell if you both have no idea how to get there. Some of them will turn on the GPS. But not sure with the others. Once I had this experience with the driver who has no idea about my destination. Why on earth he pick up my order is beyond my understanding. We end up asking people who give us a correct direction actually. I tried to turn on GPS on my handphone but fail do bad signal receiving. I end up ask him to just drop me somewherer and decided to try turning on the GPS. This time the signal is good and it turns out I only five minutes away from my destination!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>5. Rating</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Don't hesitate to give honest rating for the drivers especially those with bad manner, impolite, messy looking appearance and being rude.&nbsp;</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uMg5Q15Mu6g/VuZE4WkncOI/AAAAAAAAb34/utTwe5wphsgAVEmesl2NBEbq7arzumoqQ/s1600/image-14-03-16-09-51-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uMg5Q15Mu6g/VuZE4WkncOI/AAAAAAAAb34/utTwe5wphsgAVEmesl2NBEbq7arzumoqQ/s400/image-14-03-16-09-51-1.png" width="225" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bad rating from me</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>6. Uniform</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I noticed both drivers from Go-Jek and Grab, a few of them doesn't wear the uniform. And when they do, within slightly glance they are all almost look the same. So you need to confirm with them when any of them approaching you, confirm their name and again like I pointed in number 4, ask about the destination. Once I almost get on with Grab while I was actually ordering driver from Go-Jek.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>7. Information</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes you need to give more information like when you asked them to pick you up at Kelapa Gading Mall. Which lobby? Near what? What are you wearing? Give all the detail so the pick up process won't be draining both of your energy.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">P.s. , if you are in hurry then tell the driver to find shortest route of if you know which one just tell him. But if you are not in a hurry, then told him to avoid speeding and just take it slow. Not sure if they are going really slow but nothing wrong to try.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Differences between these two applications</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Go-Jek has more <b>variation of services</b> compare with Grab. You are too lazy to go to the restaurant you can order via Go-Food. You are too busy to go to hairdresser then just order them via Go-Glam.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Both Go-Jek and Grab offer delivery service for documents and package. For detail you may check with them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2. Plate number information</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Grab give this information to us after the order is being confirmed. So we have information such as the driver's name, his phone numbers and the plate number of his vehicle. Go-Jek doesn't provide us with the plate number. So we need to ask them are they the driver that we ordered or otherwise.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>3. Cancellation order</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have never tried to cancel order via Grab but once I cancelled two orders. Usually you will be asked what is the reason for your cancellation. My first cancellation because the detail of the driver is not clear and unable to be contacted. The second cancellation because the driver is too far away.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lo_liPHt2WI/VuZEaYcNdTI/AAAAAAAAb30/uJzBVA7zLCMGdzc6ThzIEJIKQe1jMA59Q/s1600/image-14-03-16-09-51.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lo_liPHt2WI/VuZEaYcNdTI/AAAAAAAAb30/uJzBVA7zLCMGdzc6ThzIEJIKQe1jMA59Q/s640/image-14-03-16-09-51.png" width="360" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Better cancel if you receive detail like this</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Note:</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have sudden change of heart and wish to stop at location with shorter distance from your confirmed destination then try to ask the driver about it. Naturally, you will have to pay the stated amount when you confirming the order.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you wish to go further then the real location, again ask the driver about this matter. If your Indonesian is terrible then probably just follow the confirmed destination.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By the way don't take selfie like me as it was DANGEROUS.

But if you decided to have an adventure then get ready...</div><div style="text-align: justify;">First go to the train station or busway station located at old city of Jakarta : Stasiun Kota</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have exited the station then go across the street to Museum of Bank Indonesia</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then choose public transportation : KOPAMI JAYA 02 (blue kopami) going to Muara Karang.

After that, just follow the sign to Mangrove Forest.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Confuse?

Well, since this is my first time visiting here, I would say is okay if you wish to get another experience in Jakarta. It's a beautiful place, if you have eyes and heart to look carefully. Unfortunatelly, there are so many garbages lying around and is going to make your eyes sore. Especially around the area near the beach.&nbsp;</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1H3_iqJ0AJY/VdKZWmJ2PnI/AAAAAAAAXHc/88_YxVfW4Qs/w415-h737-no/20150816_104936.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1H3_iqJ0AJY/VdKZWmJ2PnI/AAAAAAAAXHc/88_YxVfW4Qs/w415-h737-no/20150816_104936.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And when I say a beach, don't let your imagination running wild.

I couldn't help but wonder, why their tour guide is crazy enough to bring all of them during rush hour. Yes. It was around 4 PM where many people already finish their job and all rushing try to get home as soon as possible. Traffic jam will hit the street around 5 PM until around 8 PM. Which is why the goverment urge our people to use public transportation. Unfortunately, this is what you get by using public transportation. Long queuing and you have to bear many impolite people (me including...well, sometimes).<br /><br />I think is great when you travel to another country and want to try the experience first hand on how was it if I use this public transportation? Will it be difficult? Is there something that I need to buy, like in this case e-ticket. And how much further you will want in that experience. Would you like to try how crazy people can be when all they can think of is home. As Soon As Possible. One minute this person can be nice to you, showing direction. But when the bus come he or she (usually is ...she).will brutally push you aside so you won't be in the way.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VMBx_gPvHpE/VcRT9hT81OI/AAAAAAAAWvU/jG6Z_V-bdHM/s1600/c2hyy4j.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VMBx_gPvHpE/VcRT9hT81OI/AAAAAAAAWvU/jG6Z_V-bdHM/s400/c2hyy4j.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I have been told to avoid rush hour whenever I had a chance to travel aboard. Of course naturally, sometimes what you wish is not what you get. Ages ago when I visited Korea with my friend, we realize that people is actually the same. There are people who stick to the rule, like stay queuing. Throw garbage to the trash can and so on. But there are a lot of other people who have this principle : better me first than others. The buses are crowded during the time people went home from work. And subway to certain destination is full with so many people all going to the same place.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My advice is more or less the same to you who visits Jakarta for a short time. Don't waste your time by using public transportation. Need to be reminded that traffic jam seems to be permanent here in Jakarta. So choose your timing wisely.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Have fun in Jakarta ^_^ Check <a href="http://www.jakarta-tourism.go.id/node/584?language=id">this site</a> if you wish to see small part of Jakarta .&nbsp;</div>http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2015/08/rush-hour.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ria Tumimomor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802037381813720981.post-5891118219185993980Fri, 17 Jul 2015 00:37:00 +00002015-08-11T09:32:29.823+07:00eid ul fitrgreetingsholidayidul fitrijakartalebaranliburEid ul Fitr GreetingsDear all, wishing you all to have blessed Eid ul Fitr celebration with your family and friends.

Amusement parks<br />People who stays in Jakarta are surely going to avoid these two places: <a href="http://ragunanzoo.jakarta.go.id/?lang=en"><span style="font-size: large;">Ragunan Zoo</span></a> and <a href="https://www.ancol.com/en"><span style="font-size: large;">Ancol</span></a>. There are so many people during this festive holiday and if you hate crowded places, well... it will not going to be a wonderful experience.<br /><br />2. Museums and other historical places.<br />Most people probably not really into museum, but old museums such as Fatahillah in old city of Jakarta and National Monument (MoNas) have parks and large area for people to hang around together. If you want to visit museums, they are probably close but there are other entertainment that you can enjoy. While at National Monument I can assure you, it will take ages for you before finally able to enter the monument and going up to see Jakarta from there.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://scontent-sin1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/l/t1.0-9/11056440_984207828285982_6720176695135888112_n.jpg?oh=c82646c9810963622aef1980123ad36b&amp;oe=56163948" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://scontent-sin1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/l/t1.0-9/11056440_984207828285982_6720176695135888112_n.jpg?oh=c82646c9810963622aef1980123ad36b&amp;oe=56163948" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Taken in front of Museum Fatahillah, located at Old City Jakarta</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11224812_986971674676264_5068636153533776085_n.jpg?oh=67b3c66c55d1644a36053ab123e6752f&amp;oe=56235EB0&amp;__gda__=1443830792_8ba278b55784f1cf3021e01f55bf6382" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11224812_986971674676264_5068636153533776085_n.jpg?oh=67b3c66c55d1644a36053ab123e6752f&amp;oe=56235EB0&amp;__gda__=1443830792_8ba278b55784f1cf3021e01f55bf6382" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Taken in front of National Monument&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/ZxYLcXu_w2LkeZM7xtpLVG8BQIco7ozMA_jN3n1bZhM=w454-h806-no" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/ZxYLcXu_w2LkeZM7xtpLVG8BQIco7ozMA_jN3n1bZhM=w454-h806-no" width="358" /></a></div><br />3. Double Decker buses<br />It's free... Most people enjoy free rides, especially when we want to enjoy Jakarta during holiday. You need to find out about their operational hours. Hopefully, if you go very early in the morning then you may escape the crowded situation.<br />You may check the route<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=z__kE88MMqdM.kTsAEpOkbr_0"> here </a>and read a bit in<a href="http://www.jakarta-tourism.go.id/node/584?language=id"> here</a>.<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/t3EJ7yWpn6zCvIYLZdmjDUrTHo5xalbDl54nxfbMevg=w454-h806-no" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/t3EJ7yWpn6zCvIYLZdmjDUrTHo5xalbDl54nxfbMevg=w454-h806-no" width="355" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bus stop for city tour</td></tr></tbody></table>4.

People should be on holiday, get the heck out from Jakarta even for a while. So, surely Jakarta will be empty during the holiday... Or...not. Like I mentioned previously, people usually loves visiting Ragunan and Ancol. If you happen to use busway that goes to those areas, then you will find yourself trapped with lots of people. All of them, with the whole family and friends, are going to be there... Unless you want to feel the sensation being in the middle of so many passengers then you might want to think about your routes.<br /><br /><br />5. Commuter Line<br />It's another cheap way to travel around Jakarta. &nbsp;So, yeah... you will find that there is no different with commuter line during working days and on Ramadhan holiday. Can you imagine that by using Commuter Line you can travel from Jakarta to Bogor and only cost you IDR 5.000,- (less than a dollar!)?<br />If you really want to go by Commuter Line anyway, then make sure you have pre-paid card for the ticekt. Otherwise, you will have to spend countless time to line up with hundreds of other passengers and totally going to be a waste of time.<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/IGA03RTQm03KFHYBvG6LyvcEwLxmVCVJwPQvcZYayRI=w1280-h720-no" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/IGA03RTQm03KFHYBvG6LyvcEwLxmVCVJwPQvcZYayRI=w1280-h720-no" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />Saran saya, kalau sedang berada di keramaian ya sabar-sabar saja. Daripada ngedumel karena suasana yang tidak nyaman, misalnya ada yang buang sampah sembarangan...lebih baik dari diri kita sendiri turut menjaga kebersihan. Bawa kantong plastik misalnya untuk buang sampah. Soalnya dengan kepadaatan orang, tempat sampah yang tersedia bisa jadi tidak cukup untuk menampung.<br /><br />6. Toilet<br />Yeap. And unlike toilet located inside malls, rest rooms located at public places are going to be horrendous. Prepare yourself with wet tissues, dry tissues, whatever tissue. In fact, bring disposable paper toilet for seat cover if you feel necessary. Remember, cleaning service crew probably not as ready as regular days. So, brace yourself to totally dirty rest rooms.<br /><br />Enjoy your stay in Jakarta and may you have all the fun ^_^http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2015/07/crowded-places-in-jakarta-during.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ria Tumimomor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802037381813720981.post-2743452686591772977Sun, 28 Jun 2015 16:00:00 +00002015-08-11T09:32:51.830+07:00commuter lineeticketgojekgrab taxigrabbikejakartakrlmotorcycle taxiojekprepaid cardtrainAdditional Public Transportion in Jakarta<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/I-hL_77VbUe8uEOwdkd73i1aiXZ81-7vUARWOZPfesA=w1280-h720-no" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/I-hL_77VbUe8uEOwdkd73i1aiXZ81-7vUARWOZPfesA=w1280-h720-no" width="400" /></a></div><br />Few years back, I posted a list of public transportation here in Jakarta. You may check the <a href="http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2010/11/list-of-public-transportation-in.html">link here</a>.<br /><br />At that time, I hardly use motor-taxi (or known here as "Ojek") and train (or Commuter Line). More detail here:<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />1. Kereta Api Indonesia<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/IGA03RTQm03KFHYBvG6LyvcEwLxmVCVJwPQvcZYayRI=w1280-h720-no" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/IGA03RTQm03KFHYBvG6LyvcEwLxmVCVJwPQvcZYayRI=w1280-h720-no" width="400" /></a></div><br />You may check their <a href="https://www.kereta-api.co.id/">website here</a>. If you want to us Commuter Line to go around Jakarta area or even to Bogor you can check their <a href="http://www.krl.co.id/">website here</a>.<br />Please note that for KRL, you will have to use pre-paid card or known as E-ticket. You can read about it <a href="http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2014/08/e-ticket-for-busway-and-commuter-line.html">here</a>.<br />For KRL, there is this pre-paid card that you can use only for single trip. But, during rush hour you will find long queuing to get the pre-paid card. And you will have to pay a certain amount as a guarantee fee. You may cashing the guarantee fee if you don't want to use it again.<br />If you are going to stay for a long period, then I suggest you get a pre-paid card. Before you use it, make sure to activate the card by using a red box (picture below).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/mRlzTCFQ8XiNvejZAlOL_2Q0bWM0_1aWxEZVUCwQIWO9=w478-h849-no" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/mRlzTCFQ8XiNvejZAlOL_2Q0bWM0_1aWxEZVUCwQIWO9=w478-h849-no" width="180" /></a></div><br /><br />2. Ojek or Motor-taxi<br />Most people in Jakarta (including me) are impatient and lazy. We are too lazy to walk under the heat of the sun. But we can't wait to get to our destination as soon as possible. What better way to beat the traffic jump by using motorcycle? But, wait. I don't have a motorcycle. Then I should pay someone who use motorcycle to get to my destination.<br /><br />Recently, because so many people use this service there is event an application to order Ojek! You wish to send something to your friends but too lazy to go out. You can order their service. And, if you wish to grab a meal from a restaurant (with no delivery service) you can use their service as well!<br /><br />If you want to use their service, cek<a href="http://www.go-jek.com/"> this site </a>first<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iohzoP9m36s/VY0HEv30r0I/AAAAAAAAVlc/a87rdDUdKBY/s1600/18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iohzoP9m36s/VY0HEv30r0I/AAAAAAAAVlc/a87rdDUdKBY/s400/18.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Picture taken from <a href="http://www.go-jek.com/">GO-JEK</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Then there is another alternative, you may want to install application:<a href="http://grabtaxi.com/jakarta-indonesia/grabbike-goceng/"> Grab Taxi</a> first.

Probably because I have nothing to tell you other than the buses getting few and fewer within these last couple of months. The people is getting crazier all the time...In short, there seems nothing the passengers could do about it... Just accept them as facts of life.<br /><br />ANyway, like I have said in many of my postings here...if you are going to stay here in Jakarta for quite a while there there is nothing wrong to have at least one pre-paid card. But on second thought, let's make it two. Why? Here are the reasons:<br /><br />1. Dude, this is Jakarta... You are probably going to encounter your first time of getting mugged on the bus. Seriously. Pickpockets are here and there in almost every public transportation. Not to mention mall or any public places. If you only have one and you put it in your pocket...well... Do I need to explain more?<br />Shortcut: buy another pre-paid card that will cost you IDR 40.000,-. The price for the card is IDR 20.000,- and the rest will be used to pay the fare.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />2. Damaged card means no entry. Doesn't matter you just top-up the pre-paid card amounting IDR 100.000,-. If it's damaged then it's damaged. Period.<br />Again, you need to buy another car or simple beg other people's mercy by giving them the money to pay your fare. And they will swipte their card so you can enter.<br /><br />3. The Top-Up problem.<br />It is actually very easy. You either pay in cash or if you have ATM like from Bank Central Asia to top-up your Flazz card then everything is fine.<br />Everything is not so fine when....the machine is offline or someone who know to operate it is unavailable. Or, they simply don't have an exchange for your money.<br /><br />Naturally, make sure both of your card have sufficient funds otherwise ...good luck with begging for help from other passengers...http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2015/06/problem-with-your-pre-paid-card.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ria Tumimomor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802037381813720981.post-4941813349849744612Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:00:00 +00002015-01-15T22:00:05.444+07:0011th birthdayblutransjakartabuswayhappy birthdayserviceHappy Birthday @BluTransJakarta<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Icqm0PAVYJs/VLdqO9u9tVI/AAAAAAAAQaQ/44HBs6egSW0/s1600/1507645_10203426094638389_4763381575145364186_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Icqm0PAVYJs/VLdqO9u9tVI/AAAAAAAAQaQ/44HBs6egSW0/s1600/1507645_10203426094638389_4763381575145364186_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div><br />Well, well, 11 years passing us by so quickly... The transportation that everyone despised now become the most wanted in Jakarta... Still the cheapest, IMHO compare with other public transportation. Though to people who seldom use this transportation will find it a bit tricky as using pre-paid card to buy ticket is mandatory. You will find a living hell when try aboard it during rush hour...

It has been a while since I used regular bus and a pickpocket succesfully took my wallet without me knowing it...<br /><br />Don't expect another passenger will help you as they naturally worry they will be the next target. Especially if they are using the bus daily.<br /><br />Watch it for this bus PPD P 157. If you wish to see the route you may refer to this<a href="http://www.transportumum.com/jakarta/ppd-p-157/"> link</a>. Unfortunately is in bahasa Indonesia.<br /><br />You may be friendly with other passengers but don't let your guard down. If your bag has zipper make sure the bag never lost your sight. If you are wearing backpack maybe you should put it in front of you. They can use cutter to open your bag and take whatever they can have.<br /><br />Enjoy Jakarta but always be careful!http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2014/11/beware-with-ppd-p-157.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ria Tumimomor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802037381813720981.post-3804089410361259633Thu, 23 Oct 2014 04:12:00 +00002014-10-23T11:12:17.431+07:00buswaye-ticketprepaid cardE-ticketing Started 1 November 2014Quoting from <a href="http://www.tempo.co/read/news/2014/10/23/058616521/November-Transjakarta-Pakai-Tiket-Elektronik-" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">TEMPO</span></a>, starting from 1st of November , get ready to have at least one prepaid card if you are planning to use busway as your daily transportation.<br /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I am also quoting from</span><a href="http://thejakartaglobe.beritasatu.com/news/jakarta/transjakarta-sets-december-target-e-ticketing-problems-remain/"> <span style="font-size: large;">Jakarta Globe</span></a><span style="font-size: 14px;">, that </span>&nbsp;</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The bus operator will implement the payment system at nine corridors&nbsp;—&nbsp;corridor VIII (Harmoni-Lebak Bulus route) and corridor IX (Pinang Ranti-Pluit) on Nov. 1; corridor II (Harmoni-Pulo Gadung route) and corridor III (Harmoni-Kalideres) on Nov. 22; corridor V (Ancol-Kampung Melayu) and corridor VII (Kamung Rambutan-Kampung Melayu) on Nov. 29; and corridor X (Tanjung Priok-Cililitan), corridor XI (Kampung Melayu-East Jakarta mayor’s office) and corridor XII (Pluit-Tanjung Priok) on Dec. 13.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Hopefully this information will be useful.

For all of you here in Jakarta, get ready for heavy traffic jam on that day. Especially those around National Monument. There will be celebration for the people by the people and from the people. Why oh why they have to do it on MONDAY? When many of us have to go to work. Though I am totally happy with this celebration, I have to prepare alternate route for me to go home. <br /><br />So, let's pray for a NATIONAL HOLIDAY on 20th of October 2014 so, we can relax and enjoy the celebration....at home. <br /><br />Unfortunately I only have the run down in Indonesian. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10678499_296986007162671_780690158779676144_n.jpg?oh=d689370e6431c5a733a1b5b59c00c653&amp;oe=54EE6088&amp;__gda__=1422281033_4db15b306b7fcc51fdc2bfd19f2cd056" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10678499_296986007162671_780690158779676144_n.jpg?oh=d689370e6431c5a733a1b5b59c00c653&amp;oe=54EE6088&amp;__gda__=1422281033_4db15b306b7fcc51fdc2bfd19f2cd056" width="640" /></a></div><br />http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2014/10/get-ready-for-traffic-jam-on-20th-of.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ria Tumimomor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802037381813720981.post-4775638620523486184Tue, 07 Oct 2014 01:05:00 +00002014-10-07T08:05:46.082+07:0016bank mandiribuswaycommuter linee-moneyprepaid cardCheaper with E-Money<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LtJjck_XITw/VDM7Yrgkz4I/AAAAAAAAOls/TlIcPDiM2jg/s1600/P141007_070600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LtJjck_XITw/VDM7Yrgkz4I/AAAAAAAAOls/TlIcPDiM2jg/s1600/P141007_070600.jpg" height="640" width="492" /></a></div><div><br /></div>With prepaid card from Bank Mandiri, you will only pay IDR 16,- for busway and commuter line.

To tell you the truth, getting on the train is another transportation torture. As both of them takes forever before finally arrived at the station or bus stop. Though of course, train takes shorter time compare with busway. <br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />There are things we should pay attention during our trip on the train. Even if other people choose not to follow the rules doesn't mean we just follow the mainstream. And here are the rules from the picture above: <br /><br />1. Don't sit on the floor and don'r bring anything that can be used to sit other than the seats that has been provided. Don't get a seat during rush hour? Then you must stand, please... <br />Naturally you will see that people prefer not to follow this rule. Either they are really exhausted or simply don't care. <br /><br />2. No Littering <br />Says who? There are office boys or girls to sweep the floor They are being paid to do that... <br /><br />3. No Peddler allowed<br />What? But I need to buy stuffs! Not to worry. Sometimes, you will find several passengers turn into snack seller or other things that you probably don't need but end up buying it anyway. <br /><br />4. No Busking<br />I hardly see this one broken by the passengers. Can you even sing a tune in the middle of crowded passengers? <br /><br />5. NO DURIAN<br />No Idea what is Durian? You can check it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian">here</a>. Durian is a fruit that has strong odour. I feel myself want to strangle a person who let out smelly fart after eating this fruit. Yuck! <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1y_fMIFAxVo/U_VUWwMVu2I/AAAAAAAAN7w/Ufuyz_5CyDw/s1600/20140816_160924.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1y_fMIFAxVo/U_VUWwMVu2I/AAAAAAAAN7w/Ufuyz_5CyDw/s1600/20140816_160924.jpg" height="640" width="360" /></a></div><br /><br />And for the next picture, we will start from the picture with spoon, fork and cup : <br /><br />1. No Eating<br />After eating eventually come the littering thingy. But of course, passengers always has answer for this one rule. Start from they are hungry up to they have stomach problem so they must eat frequently. <br /><br />2. No Smoking<br />Nobody break this rule so far. <br /><br />3. No Pet<br />Related to littering, I suppose. <br /><br />4. No Flammable Goods<br />You are going on a trip to somewhere not to have a fireworks on board. n... Kita mau menuju ke tempat tujuan dengan selamat dan bukan untuk main kembang api.<br /><br />5. Don't Cross Out The Wall<br />So far nobody try to break this rules. <br /><br />Last but not least, never ever loose your prepaid card or single entry ticket. You need it to enter and departure the train station. Loose it, you will be fined IDR 50.000,- http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2014/09/prohibition-on-commuter-line.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ria Tumimomor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802037381813720981.post-7784009854982971620Tue, 19 Aug 2014 02:09:00 +00002014-08-21T09:04:57.352+07:00buswaye-ticketprepaid cardE-Ticket AnnouncementFor all busway user, this photo was taken at busway stop Harmoni.

But for commuter line, you have to ensure there is more than enough balance to cover your trip. PLUS, if you are going to use a totally new car then you need to activate it. YES. Activate it first, ask around where you should activate your new car before you use it to pass the entrace gate.&nbsp;</div><div><a name='more'></a><br /></div><div>The below photo is unfortunately in Indonesian. But more or less is like this:<br />1. Activate your prepaid card at the machine located near the entrance gate (I, myself have no idea where that is so don't hesitate to ask)<br /><br />2. Check your balance, the sufficient balance at minimum IDR 7.000,- but prepare more. There is a also a machine to check your balance. Again, ask around if you must.<br /><br />3. Tap the prepaid car at the entrance gate and make sure you don't loose this card before leave the train station when you reach your destination.

I mean, everyday I face the same thing over again and again. Crowded angry passengers, few buses only that it seems only the driver and God knows exactly about their schedule. I was afraid you might get bored with it because there is nothing new rather than my daily experiences. But anyway, let me try to write a summary what happened to me from January until recently, near Idul Fitri holiday.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />As usual, beginning of the year is my favorite time. Most of citizen in Jakarta are still in holiday mood. Usually around a week or so after New Year celebration, traffic still bearable. Not so crowded people on the bus. People still smiling at each other, we all stil full of hope. And of course that hope was quickly vanish when most people back from holiday. And then again, after 2 weeks from New Year day Jakarta back to normal. People pushing one another just to get inside the bus or to get a seat. Yes, getting a seat is a big thing here if you take a fully crowded bus.<br /><br />Then we have double-decker bus for sightseeing and the best part, is <a href="http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/news/jakarta/double-decker-tour-buses-launched-today/"><b>FREE</b></a>! But, I haven't got the chance to try it myself. Darn :(<br /><br />I also encourage many people who use busway to leave buying tickets manually and use e-ticket. Even if you are only here for a while in Jakarta. Just get those e-card and it will be easier for you to enjoy Jakarta. Especially now within days, it will be less and less crowded. There is no need to worry about traffic jam as many people will be on their way to other provinces. Idul Fitri is the biggest celebration here in Indonesia. Anyway, you may want to check this <a href="http://whatsnewjakarta.com/news/detail/777/Places-to-Visit-During-Lebaran-Holiday">SITE</a> for sightseeing in Jakarta.<br /><br />Last but important, taking any public transportation here in Jakarta and Indonesia is all about survival. Can you survive three hours journey (that actually only need 30 minutes drive when there is no traffic jam) ? Are you strong enough to keep on standing in the middle of crowded bus? Can you hold your anger when another passengers behave beyond your wildest imagination (I know I wasn't able to....once or twice)? Will you be a darling and give your seat to others people that seems desperately need it?<br /><br />Same thing goes when you traveling across Indonesia during Idul Fitri holiday. You have to face the long hours thanks to unbelievable traffic jam. You will have to be careful with nice and polite people offering you something to drink or eat because they could drugged you. But then again, you have to trust your instinct to realize that a person in front of you have no intention other than being kind.<br /><br />Enjoy your stay in Jakarta and have a lovely time here.during this holiday....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F8hak37bp5g/U9IWGNBi8wI/AAAAAAAANVE/zSvl3ooiKF4/s1600/20140316_150427.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F8hak37bp5g/U9IWGNBi8wI/AAAAAAAANVE/zSvl3ooiKF4/s1600/20140316_150427.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div><br />http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2014/07/before-idul-fitri-holiday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ria Tumimomor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802037381813720981.post-8944185403325753798Mon, 16 Jun 2014 15:30:00 +00002014-06-16T22:30:02.215+07:00busway. commuter linee-ticketflazz cardtransjakartaNeed To Know ABout E-Ticket<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VKMHoeaNAIY/U3VkGJDytUI/AAAAAAAAMRU/k0AUw0EY7f0/s1600/20140508_065335.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VKMHoeaNAIY/U3VkGJDytUI/AAAAAAAAMRU/k0AUw0EY7f0/s1600/20140508_065335.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>If you are here in Jakarta and wish to try our public transportation, maybe you should try E-ticket. Okay, this is my third posting in a row about e-ticket. Now you are all going to think I am their sales person. I can assure you that I am not :)<br /><br />Anyway, I think from various cards only FLAZZ Card that can be used to buy ticket for both <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.transjakarta.co.id/info.php?q=6InOxt4=">TransJakarta</a></span> (known as Busway) and <a href="http://www.krl.co.id/"><span style="font-size: large;">Commuter Line</span></a>. <br /><br />The things that you need to know about using Flazz Card is:<br /><br />1. You can buy Flazz Card at certain bus stop for Trans Jakarta. The balance of this newly purchased card usually at IDR 20.000,- or IDR 50.000,- depends which one is available.<br /><br />2. If you are using busway before 07.00 AM then the bus fare is only at IDR 2.000,- &nbsp;After 07.00 AM, the bus fare is IDR 3.500,-<br />Once you swipe the Flazz Card, the fare will be deducted from the balance.<br /><br />3. If you are traveling around Jakarta with Commuter Line, the fare will be calculated from how far your route is.<br /><br />4. You can use Flazz Card (and other cards from various Banks; you may refer from <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2014/05/e-ticket-recommended.html#.U56nkJR_vNk">here</a></span>) , to purchase ticket for more than 1 person. As long as you have enough balance to cover for them all.<br /><br />5. You can only use Flazz Card (and e-ticket from Commuter Line) for yourself. Because the fare will be deducted after you arrived at the destination not before.<br /><br />6. You can use Flazz Card until there is only zero balance if you travel by busway. Like for example, there is available balance about IDR 4.000,- Then you can use it to buy 2 tickets for morning fare. And only 1 ticket for one person after 07.00 AM<br /><br />7. You can't use Flazz Card if there is only available balance : IDR 10.000,- to travel by Commuter Line. So you need to make sure you have sufficient balance.<br /><br />8. If you have registered account with BCA, then you may have ATM that will enable you to top up the balance of your FLAZZ CARD. You may top the balance starting from IDR 20.000,-<br /><br /><b>If not...,</b> then you probably just get a new one at the nearest bus stop for busway or at train station and tossed the old one. Or, keep it as a souvenir :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div>http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2014/06/need-to-know-about-e-ticket.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ria Tumimomor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802037381813720981.post-7986533419551208896Fri, 16 May 2014 15:00:00 +00002014-05-16T22:00:00.402+07:00busesbusway. commuter linecorridore-ticketflazz cardmanualtickettrainE-Ticket Recommended<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rSPJBGzEiXI/U3VifQ0sZTI/AAAAAAAAMQc/X3l_n-SgM1E/s1600/20140514_062026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rSPJBGzEiXI/U3VifQ0sZTI/AAAAAAAAMQc/X3l_n-SgM1E/s1600/20140514_062026.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div><br />I am using busway on daily basis, so there is no surprise when I finally decided to use e-ticket. You may look at <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2013/06/e-ticket-transjakarta.html">this posting</a></span> if you wish to know a bit about e-ticket. <br /><br />The most practical e-ticket to be used is this one: JakCard and card from mini market : Indomaret. If your JakCard have no balance then you can have it top up at the busway stop. But note, not all busway stop able to top up the card.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gCP2mlsyp2M/U3Vj5Xr_SmI/AAAAAAAAMRM/ABzJ3-akpVY/s1600/20140508_065356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gCP2mlsyp2M/U3Vj5Xr_SmI/AAAAAAAAMRM/ABzJ3-akpVY/s1600/20140508_065356.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div><br />While if you have e-money card from Indomaret then you can top up at Indomaret or top up at Bank Mandiri. Assuming you have registered account at Bank Mandiri. And since there are many Indomaret here in Jakarta, you will have no worries. For JakCard you may top up with nominal IDR 20.000,- minimum. While for Indomaret card, you will need IDR 50.000,- for minimum top up. Using these two e-tickets, you may use it until there is no balance in the card. As long as last balance sufficient enough to cover the busway fare. So. if you have balance about IDR 1.000,- then you can't use it. But if you have balance IDR 3.500,- then you can use the e-ticket.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i5YBLpxzZE8/U3VjnIXiuqI/AAAAAAAAMRE/SX2GSjZbp6I/s1600/20140513_064955.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i5YBLpxzZE8/U3VjnIXiuqI/AAAAAAAAMRE/SX2GSjZbp6I/s1600/20140513_064955.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br />And then there is FLAZZ card from BCA (Bank Central Asia). Having this, you need to have registered account at BCA. You will be able to top up the balace at several busway stop. But you still need to have ATM card from BCA to top up the FLAZZ Card. The great thing about having FLAZZ CARD is that you can use it for busway and also train aka commuter line.&nbsp; <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VKMHoeaNAIY/U3VkGJDytUI/AAAAAAAAMRU/k0AUw0EY7f0/s1600/20140508_065335.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VKMHoeaNAIY/U3VkGJDytUI/AAAAAAAAMRU/k0AUw0EY7f0/s1600/20140508_065335.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div><br />The thing that you need to be aware that if you are using FLAZZ card to buy ticket for train, then please ensure you have balance more than IDR 10.000,- Perhaps IDR 20.000,- will be sufficient enough for you just in case. It's different when you are using it to buy ticket for busway. You may use all the balance until there is none. You may check the balance at several busway stop and top it up there. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M_-2A2BMjR4/U3Vkf7-OE9I/AAAAAAAAMRc/Mj8kTyWymyE/s1600/20140514_061949.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M_-2A2BMjR4/U3Vkf7-OE9I/AAAAAAAAMRc/Mj8kTyWymyE/s1600/20140514_061949.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div><br />For Flazz Card and all other e-ticket for busway, the fare will be deducted once you swipe the card before you begin the journey. However, if you are using it to go around by train then the balance will be deducted at the destination station. That is why one card can only be used per person and can't be used together with others.<br /><br />Also be aware that if there the light is off at the busway station or system error, it means we all have to lining up again to buy the ticket manually. I don't know the situation if it happens at train station.<br /><br />Hopefully this information will be usefull.&nbsp; http://riatumimomor.blogspot.com/2014/05/e-ticket-recommended.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ria Tumimomor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802037381813720981.post-6891061313304617469Wed, 07 May 2014 14:00:00 +00002014-05-07T21:00:00.483+07:00buswaycrampedfirenothing to dopasar senenphotosproyek senenrush hourWhat To Do While On The JourneyUsing busway is something that I have to do to get home as I have no other cheaper alternative.
